If you want to impress the heck out of people next time you get invited to dinner, bring a box of little Gaby et Jules pastries for dessert. Every time the box gets opened, people stand around and go, "Ooh! Pretty!"
They are simply the most beautiful-looking and artful pastries in town (the Yelp photos say it all), and they're obviously delicious to boot. I mean, plan on paying at least $5 a piece, but it's well worth it.
The citrus-y desserts (my personal favorite type on the planet; who needs chocolate?) were fantastic-- the lemon tartlette and le sensation are the best; not to tart/sour or too sweet. The L'opera (coffee-flavored French buttercream + almond cake + chocolate ganache) is also quite special.
Macarons-- their specialty item-- are just not my thing, so I can't really comment on those. Why eat dry cookies and pasty meringue when you can eat a lovely pastry instead? I just don't get it. I am biased. That being said, many of my friends rave about the macarons at Gaby et Jules.
